Waaah siya nga omg haha. So that "thing" he said na nagkaroon ng change of plans was this event? Woah what're the odds. So even without the rain we were really meant to see each other huh?
Cliche
After the event, Caleb approached me to introduce himself properly pati na din Yung mga Kasama niya. He introduced his friends to me and Avie since busy pa yung iba kong kaibigan sa mga bisita and stuff.
"So Al this is Kioshi, Kio for short. He's a good friend of mine" Caleb said as he introduced the guitarist of there band. I Shaked hands with Kio then introduced Avie to both of them as well.
"You wanna dance?" Kio suddenly spoke . I looked at him to see who was he referring to.
He was looking at Avie na busy kakalaro ng zombie tsunami sa phone niya.
"Oh ayan Sige! Hala hala namatay yung tatlo kong zombie huuuuuy! Tatanga nang zombing to tsk" Sabi ni Avie sa sarili niya. This girl is really something.
"Huy! Sayaw daw kayo oh" I poked her na ikinainis niya. Sus papayag to, pusta ko pa atay ko.
She was about to rebuke and hit me when I pointed at Kio who was looking at her, waiting for an answer
Avie was quiet for about 2 seconds. Kinilig ata Lola niyo.
Of course, tama hula ko. Avie accepted Kio's offer and they both went to the dance floor.
Oh...Kay I'm here left with Caleb since umalis din yung ibang band mates Niya to enjoy the night.
"Fallen stars" he suddenly said
"Huh?" I asked him then looked at him. He was looking at the ocean and city lights across this resort.
"The city lights, they look like fallen stars in the sea every night. They look so magical, don't they?" He explained then looked at me.
This guy really has a weird eyes for everything. Una yung drizzles then now the city lights, well he's weird in an amazing way
I looked at the city lights and yeah it was amazing. They somehow do look like fallen stars since ilaw lang nila ang nakikita sa parang line between the sky and sea.
"It was really unexpected to meet you again you know, Akala ko it was just a mere random 'met a stranger' thing" I said still looking at the sea.
"Everything is unexpected but eventually destined, gets? Yung hindi mo inaasahan na mangyare ang isang bagay pero whether you expected it or not it was still gonna happen anyway" he said
"There's no such thing as accidents" he continued
"Tama ka haha" I replied then pointed at the city lights
"Malay mo, isa sa mga taong na sa ilalim nang kung alin mang ilaw jan nakatira yung magbabago ng buhay mo, positive man o negative. Maybe yung the one mo nanjan lang nanonood ng tv while you're here talking to me" I said, saying out what was all in my head.
There was silence for a while till he spoke,
" Or maybe she's right here by my side talking to me while watching the city lights" he said that made my world pause.
It was something unexpected.
after that event and sudden meet again namin ni Caleb, we became closer.
he often goes to my work place and bring me lunch or snacks randomly! He makes me laugh and I felt great everytime he's around.
after 6 months of getting to know each other and hanging out, he asked me a question.
"can I court you?" he asked one night when we were in the giant shed just spending time together after a long days work.
Nabulunan ako sa fishball na kinakain ko. Kagulat naman tong lalaking to.
"c-court me?" I asked back.
he then flashed a cute smile.
jusko bhie nalaglag ata ano ko-
kaluluwa kase.
"why? is it to soon?" he said.
anong soon ಥ‿ಥ
haha bhie bakit manliligaw pa eh mahal na ata kita.
I thought to myself.
"No, its not like that ano kase uhm.." i said
shemay sasabihin ko ba talaga???
"hmm? what is it?" he asked me gently.
my heart was beating erratically and I can't look straight in his eyes waaaaah susmaryusep.
" I..." I would never say no. Hindi ko tinapos yung dapat kong sabihin, masyado akong nahihiya
"look, Al I dont want to force you to feel the same intensity of how I feel for you. kase true love and pure intensions don't work that way for me. I believe that if you love someone, love back should not be really expected." He said
" For me, when you love someone, I mean yng totoo ha di yung love na uso ngayon tsk. When you love someone you don't really expect to be loved back, okay? Kase for me kung ganun tingin mo sa isang tao like he or she is obliged to return the feelings, di yun love.
Kase iniisip mo lang 'dapat alagaan niya ko, akin lang attention niya, etc'"
" di yun love kase nakasentro lang yung POV mo sa sarili mo. Centralize ang tingin mo sa love. Kung ganun you're not really in love with the person kung 'di in love on just the thought of being loved. Oo you also need love and it feels good and magical to be loved back but reality doesn't work that way"
mahabang saad ni Caleb.
Nganga lang ata nasagot ko (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ
I just starred at him as if Im looking at the eyes of the man I've been dreaming to have my whole life. I smiled and was teary eyed.
"Hey hey bakit ka naiiyak woi." he said na para bang natataranta.
"I didnt mean to make you feel uncomfortable, I'm so-"
I kissed him.
"I love you Caleb, you dont need to beg for it or ask for it. I love you despite your flaws, I love you in your brightest days and darkest nights. I love you now, tomorrow,next week, next month,next year and even in my next life I will still choose to love you"
I told him while our foreheads touched and both of us looking at our intertwined hands.
and then it drizzled.
